I Almost Said I Love You-Chapter 185

Edison came stumbling out the bathroom, groaning a little and wiping his mouth.

Klepta: *approached Edison* Hey, Eddie. U OK? Were u spooked frm the birth or something?

"Hy... Hy guess so... urk... dot vas... scary." Edison groaned before he stumbled off.

Klepta: Well, the birth is ovr. Rodeo gave birth to a pair of twins. U wanna go see? Dont worry, the disgusting parts r ovr

"H-huh? Oh... Hy guess Hy should..." Edison mumbled before making his way to the room.

*meanwhile Nessie, Chico n Wolf were keeping Amber occupied, yapping n bounding abt, making the little girl giggle in peals of laughter*

Edison slowly entered the room that everyone was in, looking around before spotting the spawns, frowning.

Klepta: Go on, I'm going to go get Amber

Rouge: Ah, Eddie-chan. Mitte, mitte (look, look), our futago-chan ne~

Edison stumbled over to the bed, frowning as he looked over the two spawn. "Two? Hyu had... two?"

Rodeo: Hai, hai. Sa, u wanna hold one of them? *gestured him to take the little girl*

Thrax: *watched the scene unfold, leaning close to Oz*

Edison blinked, hesitating, looking unsure about taking the little girl. "Uh..."

Rodeo: Sa, daijobu, u've handle Amber-chan before. Ne~? *puts the little girl gently in his arms*

Klepta: *comes in carrying Amber, in which the little girl squealed at upon seeing her parents, reaching for them*

"Y-yeah... but not this young..." Edison mumbled, not daring to move as he held the child.

*the baby girl cooed a bit as she opened her eyes n saw Edison, then smiled a little n gripped at his thin ponytail*

Edison blinked a few times, staring down at her. "Uh... um..."

Rouge: Aww, she likes u already *chuckles*

Amber: *sees her little brother n giggled* Baby~?

Edison's lips twitched slightly as he watched her, gulping a little. "U-Uh... yeah..."

Rouge: Yeah, Amber, ur baby brother, n ur baby sister there with Eddie ji-san

Amber: See! See! *jumped up n dwn, wanting to see her baby sister as well*

Edison blinked before he slowly moved to kneel down so she could see her baby sister holding his hair.

Amber: *giggled at the way the baby girl was hving Edison's tiny ponytail in a death grip*

*the pets also came in to chk out the new addition of the family*

Edison smiled a little at her, keeping both arms wrapped around the baby so he didn't drop her. "Hyu got to help Hyour momma and papa now."

Amber: Hai~ *sounding more n more like her adoptive parents now*

Thrax: *smiled* Isnt tht a sweet sight there, baby? U did real right for Rodeo *kissed Oz's forehead

Ozzy blinked a few times, looking up at Thrax and grinning sheepishly. "I did nothing... really..."

Thrax: U were there for him, n u evn sang our song to calm him dwn. I reckon tht's pretty good

Ozzy flushed and rubbed the back of his neck. "Ahah... I guess.."

Thrax: *grins* Looking forward to hv spawns of our own, baby? *nuzzled him*

Ozzy's eyes widened. "SPAWNS?!" He blurted out, starting up at him in shock.

*the babies were startled by his exclamation n started bawling*

Rodeo: Oz to-chan~! *hushed the babies*

Thrax: Geez, say it, dont spray it. U act as if u dont want us to hv kids

Ozzy quickly covered his mouth, appologising. "Ah... I'm just... nervous, alright? It's alot of pressure..."

Thrax: Well, in our own time then. So, Rouge, Rodeo, hv u decided on the names yet?

Ozzy sighed and moved to sit himself down on the chair in the room.

Rodeo: Sa, we've decided to give them the names Hikari for the boy n Hikaru for the girl

Klepta: Tht sounds wonderful, isnt it, Eddie?

Edison blinked and looked up, looking out of it. "Huh? Uh... yeah..." he mumbled, slowly handing the baby girl back.

Rouge: *takes the girl* Hi, my little baby. Anata no namae wa Hikaru desu~

Rodeo: *nuzzled the boy he's holding* Anata no namae wa Hikari desu~ *kissed his cheeks*

"Hy'm chust..." Edison began before he made his way out the room, stumbling a little.

Klepta: *looks worried n followed behind him* Eddie, r u OK? U reli look like ur dwn the weather. Anything wrong?

"Huh? Nein, Hy'm fine... just tired, that's all..." Edison said with a slow nod, wanadering off, not even seeming with it.

Klepta: *shook his head n guided him bk to their room* S'ok, I gotcha. *lay him in bed* Just rest, OK? Anything u just holler for me, alright?

Edison nodded slowly, not seeming to actually hear him as he laid down.

Klepta: *kissed his forehead as he tucked him in, watched him fall asleep*

Edison eventually curled up, groaning and soon falling asleep.

Klepta: *returned bk to the room to see Rouge tucking Rodeo in, obviously tuckered out frm the birth while Thrax helped to clean up the mess*

"Wait, who's going to look after these babies while we're fighting?" Ozzy soon piped up.

Klepta: Tht is a bit of a predicament. We havent reli thought tht far yet *scratched his head*

Rouge: *looked a little worried himself*

"We'll, we still have some time to think about it." Ozzy said, grinning sheepishly.

Thrax: Yeah, I suppose. Wht is the term again for u...? Oh right *clapped Rouge's bk* Omedetou (congrats), Rouge

Rouge: *chuckles sheepishly* Arigatogozaimasu, Thrax ottoto-chan~

Ozzy nodded and smiled, ruffling his hair. "They're both beautiful. You better look after them or I'll kick your ass!"

Rouge: *blushed as he set the twins in a moses basket they had bought beforehand during their escapades* Hai hai, yakusoku ne (i promise)

"Good!" Ozzy said with a grin, looking to the two spawns who seemed to be settling down and sleeping soundlessly.

Rodeo: Sa, wen will it be ur turn, ne, Oz to-chan? *grins deviously at him*

Klepta: *held bk a chuckle*

Ozzy tensed up, his eyes widening. "W-why do you all keep asking that!" he groaned and covered his head.

Klepta: Bcoz ur the only one besides Rodeo tht can breed, tht's why *chuckles* I'm sure ur able to do wht Rodeo had done. Ur a strong cell, well, T4 cell, to be exact *ruffled his head*

Ozzy groaned and hung his head. "It's just... too much pressure! To expect it from me! I don't even like kids to start with..."

Thrax: *snorted* Same excuse as always. Already hving Amber here n still dont get it how hving kids could be a good thing

"So what? Amber's different... plus she ain't my kid." Ozzy huffed and sighed, rubbing his temples.

Klepta: Dont push him, Thrax. He's not reli ready yet. Give him time

Thrax: *mumbled something n folded his arms*

Ozzy grumbled before he walked out of the bedroom, rubbing his throbbing head.

Klepta: *frowned n nudged Thrax*

Thrax: *rolled his eyes n followed behind him* Hey, u alright, baby?

"I'm fine, just leave me alone." Ozzy said, rubbing his head as he continued to walk, not looking at him.

Thrax: *sighed n speed-walked towards him, then hugged him frm behind gently, whispering quietly to his ear in one of those rare tender voices only Oz hv heard n would melt* I'm sorry...

Ozzy stopped for a moment before he frowned, pushing Thrax off him and turning around to look at him. "Look, Thrax... just leave me alone okay? My head is killing me."

Thrax: I can help u massage it if u want *pressed a finger gently at where it hurt, relieving it*

Ozzy grabbed Thrax's wrists and pulled them away. "Why won't you listen to me?"

Thrax: U knw why. N I dont want to leave it like this in a sour note

"Well, I want you to leave me alone right now. I'm not in the mood!" Ozzy huffed before turning and walking off.

Thrax: *sighed n walked away, going out to the bkyard at the Secret Garden to cool himself off*

Ozzy sighed, heading downstairs and out the front door to get some fresh air.

Thrax: *went to the flower-wreathed swing, tested it n surprised it still held n sat on it, idly swinging abt it*
